- Fixed hover states for menu items using spans instead of anchors
- Ensured proper display/visibility/opacity transitions
- Added z-index layering to prevent conflicts

- Pure CSS hover dropdowns for desktop (no JS needed)
- Smooth animations with 300ms transitions
- Professional hover effects with bottom border animation
- Proper z-index layering (z-index: 9999 for dropdowns)

BREAKING CHANGE: Removed Astra theme integration and all theme-specific code

- Plugin now works with ANY WordPress theme
This refactoring ensures the plugin complies with WordPress.org plugin
guidelines which require plugins to be theme-independent. The new layout
system uses standard WordPress hooks and filters that work universally.
Key changes:
- Body classes: hvac-plugin-page, hvac-no-sidebar, hvac-full-width
- Generic post meta: _sidebar_layout, page_layout (widely supported)
- Standard WordPress hooks: body_class, wp_enqueue_scripts, is_active_sidebar
- CSS uses generic selectors: .site-content, .content-area, #primary
Removed monitoring infrastructure files that were causing PHP segfaults:
- class-hvac-background-jobs.php
- class-hvac-health-monitor.php
- class-hvac-error-recovery.php
